ST. ANDREW'S CAFÉ
GROUP MENU

St. Andrew's Café is the focal point of the nutrition program at The Culinary Institute of America. The program provides in-service training in nutrition for faculty and curricula in nutrition and dietary cooking throughout the Institute's twenty-one month degree program. The St. Andrew's Café class stresses the principles of planning and preparing nutritionally balanced meals in a public restaurant.

St. Andrew's Café is located in the General Foods Nutrition Center, and 11,000 square foot building that also houses a state of the art production kitchen, classrooms and a resource center. The name, St. Andrew's, is derived from the former Jesuit seminary, St. Andrew's-on-Hudson, which now houses the Institute.

Menus in St. Andrew's offer wholesome, appetizing foods prepared to conform to nutritional standards developed by the Institute and the New York Medical College. Ingredients include fresh fruits and vegetables, seafood, lean meats, whole grains, and other foods to create nutritionally balanced meals. Preparation styles such as poaching, broiling, steaming and light sautéing reduce fat, sodium, calories, and cholesterol and preserve the nutrients, flavors, colors, and textures of foods. Using a computer, students plan and analyze a menu that meets nutritional guidelines. Most complete meals total no more than 800 to 900 calories.
